I'm Shannon Lanier and I teach EL (English Learners) or students who have a first language other than English. My second language is Spanish (un poquíto).

I am married with two children: Henry (9) and Hattie (7). We have a GoldenDoodle puppy named Pixie Pearl. She acts very much like a goat. She loves to stand on top of things...just like goats! This summer we travelled to Washington D.C. then took the train to New York City! We had such fun.

Here are some things I love to do with family: play Uno, Old Maid and Spot It!, go to Auburn (War Eagle!),visit family in the Florida Keys and Sarasota, FL (and kayak the mangrove tunnels!), snow ski in Park City, UT (boy is that cold!) and drink coffee.

Here are some things I do not love: vacuuming, talking on a cell phone, loud noises, drivers who do not use blinkers!
